It must suck knowing that no matter what he has for a team logo and jersey, it will never ever ever top the original San Jose Sharks look. The NHL should have stopped expanding after the Sharks simply because they reached the top in 1991. They really did kill it. I remember how many kids were walking around my high school in Sharks jerseys and other gear, kids who didn't even like hockey got caught up in it just because the merch was so awesome. I see myself getting one of those vintage Sharks jerseys, one day... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had several Devils Starter jackets back in the day; inside pocket was just large enough for your Discman, but you had to open the side seam of the pocket to plug in the headphones. #90sProblems Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, jerseys were completely out of my reach financially back in the day. We're making up for it now, haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was way too big for most pockets and even though it had anti-skip technology it skipped pretty easily once things got bumpy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It actually worked pretty well in that pocket, it just kind of hung there so it was cushioned. Back then I worked in a store that was part of a company that also owned a sporting goods store, and I got 40% (later 20%) off. I bought every Devils item they got. I may also have bought Starter jackets at 40% off and then sold them to people for 20% off, that may have happened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brilliant! Posted November 23, 2016 Report Share Posted November 23, 2016 The logo isn't bad but what a cheeseball name. Vegas? Why? Your city is called LAS Vegas; not Vegas. Poop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TMLFAN Posted November 23, 2016 Report Share Posted November 23, 2016 There was copyright issues with using just "Knights" hence the golden. London Knights scamming collectors on game worn jerseys and trolling the NHL with copyright infringement laws. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LessThanZero Posted November 23, 2016 Report Share Posted November 23, 2016 I'm sure the U.S. Army will say something since the parachute team is and has been called the "Golden Knights" for decades. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since they checked the Knights thing, I'm sure they checked Golden Knights also. Owner attended West Point, I'm sure he knows what's up.

Committed Posted November 23, 2016 Report Share Posted November 23, 2016 The logo looks pretty bad (good) I can't wait to see the jerseys. I especially like how they incorporated the V into the design. With winter settling in, the idea of a Hawks road game trip to Vegas for a weekend of debauchery sounds pretty fun right about now.

The Army used Golden Knights as a nickname only. It's not an official name. I wonder if they hold a trademark for merch, but even if they do, there's no possibility of confusing the two.

I'm kind of bitter over the whole Vegas getting a team and not Quebec City. So in a way I hope they do get hammered over the name. In my opinion the NHL missed out on a huge opportunity to celebrate the 100th anniversary by bringing back a defunct team, but money talks and Vegas has tons of it to flash around. I wish them all the luck in the world and I'm sure they will do fine. It will be interesting..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's something to be said for tapping into a new market with lots of potential that just can't be ignored. It also paves the way for the other 3 major sports to get into Vegas, so it's not just an NHL thing, and I'm sure there was some outside influence there and a bit of nudging from the commissioners and owners of the other leagues.

I agree, I'm just having a one man pity party. Like I said, I wish them all the luck in the world and will be patiently waiting to see who the take from the Blues, Devils and Red Wings.
